Get your BF3 Beta drivers right here!

[PalZer0]

Can someone test the 11.10 preview drivers to see if they install on a laptop with Mobility Radeon graphics?

Why don't you?

I just did since nobody else was going to and it turns out the drivers don't install on my laptop (which has a Mobility Radeon HD5870).

In regards to the files - it's my understanding that it needs to be downloaded via the Origin software, and hence can't be unmetered by node?

Correct

orly?

I thought I was wrong when the file got hosted
http://games.on.net/file/45410/Battlefi ... eta_Client

should I cancel and wait for my darn key to come and dl through origin?

[Cas Bitton]

Sorry about that, Things change

You still need Origin for that file. Requires a copy past extracted folder to the Origin games directory once downloaded.

MY poor GTX560 is struggling at high settings to hold more then 30fps in a fire fight. NOT HAPPY. I might throw in my ATI 6950 and see if that goes better and I don't get the bad BSOD and lockups i did with BC2.

You really expected different?

[Ball0fire]

wow i thought a 560 would handle it easy

as im only using 1 of my 480's and its running fine flat out, and its not even overclockd

You dont read many of my posts do you I sure didn't expect it too. It is the recommended Spec GPU but i knew it would take more. I have just thrown in my ATI HD6950 and thats run better, however some Crossfire or SLI action is needed for these mid range cards for sure, despite what EA and DICE want to tell us.

You really think that a $200 GPU could max out the latest AAA blockbuster??? DOUBT IT!

Well that is a big performance gap between the two A 560 is no where near as powerful as a 480 mate. Depends on what settings your running too.

i got it running at 1920 x 1200 and everything maxxed out with HOBO or what ever that is

hasnt droped below 30fps most ofthe times its 50 - 60

looks like crud tho, i sure hope this isnt what retail it gunna look like

[toecutter21]

I'm running 2 x 5850 and it was ****. I disabled crossfire and it runs smoothly.

Using latest drivers. Anyone finding crossfire to be a slideshow?

GTX560 Tis are having problems, you need to downclock them; you DONT need the latest drivers to start the game as most of my clan mates still haven't, and the Beta graphics are NOT final, they are around medium, no matter what you set your graphics on. So best leave it auto.

any other questions?

Also, my 470 SLi is working fine on the 285 release drivers.

Mine isnt a Ti version, and the game wouldnt launch without the latest drivers, it gave me a error message and refused to open full.

[Ball0fire]

went back to a working set of drivers, and yay !!




then while inthe middle of a world of tanks round, i suddenly without warning appear in the GoN server? wtf???

[tranquil]

my HD5850 is running it better than i expected. at 1920x1080, textures & mesh on High, rest on Medium, AA+AO off. not sure exactly what fps im getting, probably around 60 give or take depending on area of the map, hasn't dropped below 40.
